Automatic operation of the cooling fan The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off. Oven vent The oven vent is located at the back of the unit. Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent, since it is important for air circulation. Convection fan The convection fan operates during all convection modes. When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan turns off automatically when the door is opened. The convection fan may also run during self-clean. Page. 17
